Here's just one more U.S. Half Dime that I picked up.an 1845 FS-H10 1845-302 (000.66) I say in Fine details condition. All four digits are repunched It's a well known variety ,and in high demand to us Variety collectors.

 

@Paddy54 Dang, did you buy a whole roll of half dimes? All of 'em look really nice.

 

One more find ...an 1872 Shield Nickel , Mintage 6,036,000 , Hub marriage of Obv.B and Rev. IIc .This specimen shows signs of Machine doubling on devices as well as the date but, I believe the 1 is repunched North.

 

No wish I had that kind of money...... I got these 4 for around a buck and a half.

 

Nice SLQ. May we ask what it cost you?

 

Wow, that's an old post.

But I still have it. I paid $240 for it the last part of 2010.

 

Wow....... ^

 

Just a couple of new silver pieces that sort of caught my eye

1955 Washington


and a 1959-D Franklin

 

Picked this one up over the weekend. Not the best grade, but what a "wow" coin on the doubling! The seller feels (and I'm in agreement) that the off center strike was first and the correct strike was second. Thrilled to add this one to the collection.

 

Neat. Cool addition.

 

A couple more weekend acquisitions:
1944 Lincoln split planchet (obverse). The reverse of this half shows the shadows of the Lincoln bust. Seller accepted my offer, this one will be a welcome addition, even though it is a bit younger than I normally look for.


And picker up this lovely 1905 Indian from one of my favorite sellers. This is the third Indian and fourth coin I've bought from them - all are as good or better than the pictures, and they are a pleasure to work with. The other two Indians are at PCGS at the moment.

 

I like the toning on that 1905.

 

You remember them good old days Robec?

 

Who would have thought then that those would be the good old days. It would be fun to go back and gather a few more items that now seem to be gone.

 

Nothing very exciting here but I like them.

 

Just picked up this coin from Shane.......looks like a whopper of a seated quarter
